    First Federal Community Foundation Grants

    From First Federal Community Foundation

    The Foundation aims to improve the quality of life within the communities it serves, with a focus on supporting low- to moderate-income, disadvantaged, and/or marginalized persons or families. Its mission encompasses enhancing community support, increasing the availability of affordable housing, encouraging economic development that leads to living-wage jobs, and funding community development projects that benefit broad segments of the community, particularly through collaborative efforts.

    Overview

    Cause areas available with a free TheShareWay account.

    The grant program encapsulates four funding priorities crucial to the Foundation's mission: Community Support, Affordable Housing, Economic Development, and Community Development.

    • Community Support: The initiative backs organizations that boost community services, especially those increasing capacity to serve more people and targeting aid towards disadvantaged or low- to moderate-income families.
    • Affordable Housing: This priority focuses on enhancing the availability and access to affordable housing for those in lower income brackets, supporting projects that align with First Federal's legacy.
    • Economic Development: Funding under this category aims to stimulate economic growth and create living-wage employment opportunities through support for local organizations and collaboration between public and private sectors.
    • Community Development: This area supports significant capital projects that provide wide-reaching benefits within the community, with a preference for efforts that feature multiple funding sources and offer naming rights to the Foundation.
